The Republic of Flejan is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Stella Wells with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 6.835 billion Flejanians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wimborne. The average income tax rate is 67.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Flejanian economy, worth 563 trillion Euros a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 82,426 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity, from the highest mountain to the deepest cave - one can always count on finding a good cell signal in Flejan, military recruitment numbers are down as citizens object on 'moral grounds', and children keel over while singing "Stella Wells Gives Us the Water of Life". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flejan's national animal is the Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Flejan is ranked 43,161^st in the world and 447^th in Europe for Smartest Citizens, with 47.17 quips per hour.
